Railroad Commissioner T. G.. Fetch
er met with Massachusetts Committee
on railroads at Springfield, Saturday,
when the Committee and guests were
given a ride on special train on the
Connecticut river railroad to Holyoke
and return, to test the Emerson steam
heating system. Col. Fletcher says
that the test was a success. A cold
car was heated by steam from the 10
connective boiler in surprisingly short
time the breaking of pipe in the
car when the steam was on did nc
damage, merely subjecting the visitors
TO a vapor bath. The steam heater
men are having a regular boom just
now.

The OCEAN RACE. - The gallant
Coronet won the ocean yacht race,
coming in at the close of the 5000
mile contest fourteen days, twenty
three hours and forty-six seconds
after starting from New York harbor
and "a hours before the Dauntless.
This is considerably slower than the
time previously made, but considering
the extraordinarily severe storms en-
countered upon the way, including no
less than seven heavy gales, both the
Coronet and Dauntless did exceed
ingly well. They have done more
than prove themselves fast sailers.
They have forever .aisposed of the
British sneer at Y Eachts which
dare not venture ouG ght of land
in stiff wind or rod water. The
Cororet especially has shown herself
as stanch and seaworthy as any OF
the oaken bulwarks which have been
or are proud England's boast. All
hail to the victorious yacht, her gal
liant captain and his faithful crew!

The President is said to have given
the following reasons for not celebrat-
ing his fftieth birthday "Vanity,
vanity, it is all vanity. If man
really feels that his birth was stroke
of luck to him, let him rejoice by all
means but / don't think he has right
to disturb the town about it and |
don't think it would be modest to ask
all the rest of the world to rejoice in
an event which had so little interest
for them"
There has been an attempt for sew
eral years past to induce the Connec-
ticut Legislature to close that state to
Sunday railroad trains, and law has
at last been passed and approved by
the Governor to 60 into effect on the
lst of June. The law seems to be a
compromise between the opponents of
Sunday trains and the railroads. In
stead of absolutely closing the terri
tory of the state against Sunday trains
as was asked, the law not only permits
the running of mail trains, but of
"such other classes of trains as NAV
be authorized by the railroad commits
sioners on the ground that the same
are required by public necessity or for
the preservation of freight.

Correspondence of the Democrat
 It was my very great pleasure to attend the Sunday School Conven- tion which met in Dover, the goth inst. Before reaching the church where the convention was held, we were met by MT. Reese Hoglns who knows exactly how to dispose of his fellowmen, and he assigned us to homes. The reception gwen the delegates was cordial, bounteous, liberal and magnificent. The only complaint 1 heard was, that there were not delegates enough to go round. The writer was most ele. gantly entertained by Mir. Jas. Potts and his excellent wife.
 The business of the convention was transacted in the very best splr. it. Every delegate seemed to have nothing in view but the good of the cause. The discussions were hber- al, charitable, and as extensive as the circumstances would admit. It was an instructive convention, very prolific of new ideas. All went away feeling better prepared for Sunday school work. Respectfully,
 H. B. MILNER.

To lose their first and only son is sad indeed, but He who said 'suffer little children to come unto me, called and Robbie answered the summons. May the comforting thought that he has been transplanted from q sinful world to realms of glory console the bereaved parents, and urge them to renewed determination to meet him where parting shall be no more. x.
